making outerwear fun

while i am 100% in favor of fall/winter attire (namely jeans, boots, cozy sweaters, and scarves), i've never gotten quite as excited about the outerwear that goes along with it. coats don't thrill my soul.

i am realizing more and more how important coats, vests, etc. are to a winter outfit. who cares if you have on cute clothes underneath if all you can see is a shabby peacoat on top?

i do have a few outerwear pieces that i do really love and think elevate outfits instead of hide them:

-a fur vest (duh)
-a belted, bright red coat with a high collar i got forever ago at h&m
-a new trench coat i just got from my parents for Christmas this year. it's navy with black leather trim, sleeves, and belt. i'm a sucker for leather sleeves.
-a velvety black ralph lauren blazer that's perfect for dressing up jeans in the wintertime

i'm still itching for some more options to spice up my winter wardrobe, so the internet search began...here are a few favs i found!


textured moto jacket [anthropologie]
this jacket has a classic fit but a super cool pattern

warehouse striped cape [asos]
i really want a cape! i love the stripes and fringe on this one

sherpa collar open jacket [ann taylor loft]
y'all. this thing is beautiful.
so beautiful, in fact, it's currently sold out. keeping my eye on it!
floral bomber jacket [gap]
you had me at "floral bomber". again, a classic fit, but such an
unexpected print for a jacket. good call, gap.
